Bloodflower, also known as Scarlet Milkweed (Asclepias curassavica) in the garden this week.
Bloodflower is a beautiful plant that has traditional medicinal uses, but I just grow it for the butterflies, hummingbirds, and beneficial insects.
All of a sudden, the garden is all full of oranges, reds, and yellows. Golden Giant amaranth, Burgundy amaranth, sunflowers, red and yellow zinnias, Texas sage, and goldenrod. Fall colors.

Great post. Sounds like you really know how to enjoy life and to share that joy with your friends. Kudos! I'll have a virtual hunk of Michael's cobbler, if you please.
